Huangliang Inn

Whether he is a man or a ghost, Qian Baolai is a notch tweezers, with a temperament that loves money like his life.

When he was alive and a human being, he would wake up every three shifts and rest every four shifts, and he would go to the field with long-term and short-term workers before dawn.On weekdays, every penny is counted, and I wish I could break a penny in half and spend it.

When it's not busy, they eat two meals a day, one meal of pickled vegetables and corn bread.

Occasionally scramble an egg to improve life, but also tell the daughter-in-law to put more salt, pick up a piece as big as a fingernail, it is so salty, and still eat with small wine with relish.

If the family is not rich, there is nothing wrong with him doing so.The key is that his family is a well-known wealthy family in ten miles and eight towns. The ocean gold bars hidden in the cellar, the wheat and soybeans stored in the warehouse, the large animals raised in the pen, and the newly built green brick compound, all of them are taken out at the same time. Wealthy families in neighboring villages are among the best.

He calculated so carefully that he even counted every ounce to live, and he was often gossiped behind his back and nicknamed "Scrooge".

The paradox is that whenever the fields get busy during the harvest season, Qian Baolai will be surprisingly generous.

Long-term workers and short-term workers have wages, and they have to take care of their meals. No matter how stingy they are, they cannot be deducted at this time.

With Qian Baolai's personality, big fish and big meat are naturally rare, but two rice buns are definitely enough.From time to time, there will be some diced meat in the fried pickles, and some oily flakes in the potato soup.

This kind of food is definitely not bad, even if he has a reputation as an iron rooster, there are still many people who are willing to work in Qian's house.

Qian Baolai's daughter-in-law is hot-tempered, handsome and capable, she often fights with her unfilial elder brother and sister-in-law, and manages each other submissively, so she has a strong reputation in her natal family.

Qian Baolai immediately fell in love with her, and brought a gift to the matchmaker to talk about it.The matchmaker knew what he was coming for, but he couldn't react for a while, thinking he heard it wrong.

Can two people with such temperament really live together?

It has to be a small dozen every three days, and a big dozen every five days, and sooner or later the stove will be smashed and the roof tiles will be smashed.

But that's what she does, and when people come to the door with gifts, she can't say she can't do it, so hurry up and go back as soon as possible.When Qian Baolai was determined to marry Zhao Cui, he had no choice but to go to Lincun Village and walk into the gate of Zhao Cui's house with a feeling of giving it a try.

What surprised people was that when Zhao Cui saw the matchmaker coming to the door, she knew the intention of the matchmaker, and when she heard that the proposer was an iron rooster from Qianjiacun, she didn't refuse, and nodded directly to her parents.

It can be said that this marriage was completed, the matchmaker felt that he was dreaming, and when he left, he seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he was walking slowly.

When Zhao Cui got married, relatives from all over the world, whether within reach or not, came to watch the ceremony.Most of the people wanted to watch the excitement, and wanted to see how the iron rooster of Qianjia Village married a wife.

To the disappointment of everyone, Qian Baolai changed his usual style, opened the door of his own compound, and opened thirty tables, no matter how the relationship is in the usual, as long as you come to congratulate, even if you don't bring a gift, you can eat at the table.

There are fish and meat on the table, and the fragrance can be smelled from a long distance.

Palm-width and half-finger-thick, trembling and shiny fatty meat slices are stacked in a large bowl, whole carp is steaming, pork ribs stewed potatoes are tempting, and adult fist-sized steamed buns are placed in a basket. Open, let you open your belly to eat.

There is also a jug of wine on each table, brought back from the county two days in advance, the mud seal was slapped open, the aroma of the wine was overflowing, all the young and old were red-eyed, and they directly served the bowl without a cup.

Even in the past few decades, Qian Baolai's memory of the lively scene at that time was still fresh, and even a ghost could not forget it.Sitting in the inn chatting with Yan Jue, I couldn't help beaming and dancing, and the mouse whiskers around my mouth curled up.

"At that time, in the next 20 years, there was only one in the five nearby villages."

Qian Baolai sat on the chair, picked up the dry pipe and knocked it. This is his habit, even if he is a ghost, he can't get rid of it.

"On the night of getting married, I took off the red hijab. My daughter-in-law was so handsome, she was still smiling at me. I was so happy in my heart. I wished I could run around the yard a few times..."

Qian Baolai chuckled, his eyes narrowed for joy.

Infected by his emotions, Yan Chuan smiled slightly, holding a teapot, and poured a cup of ghost tea to him.

Just as Qian Baolai was about to take it, he suddenly thought of something and said hesitantly, "Shopkeeper, don't you want money?"

His sons and daughters are gone, there is no incense behind him, and he is not as capable as other ghosts, so he is really ashamed.

"No need." Yan Yan smiled slightly, and seeing Qian Baolai quickly heaved a sigh of relief, looking like he was taking advantage, he felt more and more interesting about this ghost.

After drinking three cups of ghost tea in a row, Qian Baolai put down the cup, ate half a box of snacks in one go, finally wiped his mouth contentedly, and continued to talk.

"I asked my daughter-in-law, how could she nod and be willing to marry me with such a reputation?" Qian Baolai smacked his lips, recalling the early years, his face was full of smirks, matching his facial features, it was really hot eyes.

"My daughter-in-law is wrapped in a flowery padded jacket, her black hair is coiled up, her round face is big-eyed, she is so handsome! When she heard my words, she kicked me off the kang, stared at my eyes and pulled my ears, saying that if I was thinking too much, today Let me sleep in the pigsty tonight!"

"The one who speaks is sharp and crisp, handsome and powerful, my heart can't stop jumping out of my cavity."

Qian Baolai covered his chest with one hand, smiling so blindingly.

Yan Jue coughed, he had seen countless ghosts and demons, and this was the first one he saw.

"For the next ten or twenty years, my wife didn't tell me why she was willing to marry me."

"Later, the world went wrong, my family suffered disasters, my legs were broken and I was imprisoned in the cowshed, and the children in the family were gone. She tried to bribe the guards, and she wore the red padded jacket when she got married, and packed them neatly. Come to see me with two steamed buns and a plate of scrambled eggs."

"I was beaten to death, I couldn't move, and my body smelled bad. She didn't dislike me at all, she sat beside me, wiped my face and body, and then told me while feeding me that her brother-in-law was not filial. She was worried that if she went out, her parents would be left alone, and she made up her mind to find someone with a family background and a bad reputation, so that her brother and sister-in-law would be afraid and dare not ignore her parents. If she really didn't care, she could stretch out her hand to take care of her. It’s not like the two families are poor together and end up starving to death.”

"I couldn't move at the time. Anyway, my head was not confused. I wanted to laugh when I heard what she said. I wanted to ask her a few more words, but I saw my daughter-in-law leaning against me, smiling with her eyes closed. Her hair was white and her face was wrinkled. Still so handsome, so handsome..."

Qian Baolai's voice became lower and lower, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, he clutched his head with both hands, and ignored the pipe and pot rolling on the ground.

"She put medicine in steamed buns and scrambled eggs, which can kill a cow."

"The child is gone, the family is broken, and there is no hope for life. She can't see me continuing to suffer, so she just dies with me."

Qian Baolai's voice was hoarse, and he looked down at the palm prints, and said, "I've been dead for so many years, I've been hiding in Tibet, trying my best not to reincarnate, not to drink Mengpo soup, just don't want to forget, want to remember her. So good My daughter-in-law, such a good mother-in-law, forget to be guilty, to be guilty!"

"She may have already been reincarnated." Yan Jue said.

"I know." Qian Baolai raised his head, looked directly at Yan Piao, and a red light flashed in his eyes, "The rest of my life is too hard, it's best for Da Cui to forget. But I can't forget, it's okay for those people to harm me, they don't care You should kill Da Cui and kill my child!"

Qian Baolai was extremely angry, his facial features were ferociously distorted, and black resentment gushed out from his body, completely different from when we first met.

To Yan Jue's surprise, even though he was surrounded by resentment, Qian Baolai was still able to stay awake, and he would not lose his mind like a ghost and focus on killing.

"I heard about the Huangliang Inn from an old ghost. I know that you are capable and powerful. This time I came to the door with courage. I just want to ask for your help, so that those beasts will suffer retribution, and let them try to survive but not die. Unbelievable taste!"

"If you ask me for help, you will have to pay a price." Yan Jue said.

"I know." Qian Baolai said sternly, "The old ghost told me all about it, one soul and one soul, right? Anyway, I don't want to reincarnate. When I kill those bastards, the store will take it for itself."

Qian Baolai has been a ghost for all these years, but he has never been reincarnated, staying in the yang world.

He saw with his own eyes that his enemies covered up their crimes easily with their eloquent tongues; he saw with his own eyes that they occupied his house, dug out the hidden silver dollars, and became well-known wealthy households.

As time passed, wealthy businessmen in the county were rehabilitated one after another, and some of them were returned to their family properties and received compensation.Only he and Zhao Cui have never been mentioned, and anyone who mentions it will be suppressed.For the sake of money, some villagers help the villain to hide the truth and refuse to testify for themselves and their wives.

Houses, fields, livestock, oceans, and grains all belonged to the enemy, and the villagers occasionally started talking, remembering all the good things about the enemy, thinking about the three melons and two dates that were given to them, and sneered at Qian Baolai and Zhao Cui, spitting every time they opened their mouths. He didn't even think about it. During the famine years, Zhao Cui kindly opened a granary and sent food to many people in the village!

"I hate, hate!"

Qian Baolai clenched his fists, and said rudely: "You say I'm stingy, I'm an iron cock, I admit it. But they can't scold my daughter-in-law so unscrupulously!"

"The group of beasts took over my house and property, why should I live with peace of mind?!"

"I'm picking. I broke a penny into two halves, but I didn't do anything wrong. I have a hundred acres of good land, which I saved from working hard from dawn to dusk. If you say that I bully day laborers, those steamed buns are all fed to me." In the dog's belly?!"

"During the lean years, someone came to my house to borrow food and money, but when did Dacui not borrow it?"

"I just can't figure it out, just because I have fields and livestock in my family, should I suffer like this?"

"If I'm really guilty, it should all fall on me. In ancient times, the crime was not as good as my wife and children. Why should my three children be locked up and beaten to death by them, and why should my daughter-in-law be forced to death?"

"If there is really retribution from the underworld in this world, why not retribution on these beasts?!"

Qian Baolai's eyes were red, and there were twisted black lines on his cheeks.

"The captain and women's director of the village are good people. They suppressed the incident several times and didn't allow these people to mess around. As a result, they hated them. In the end, they also ruined their families."

"There are old people in the village who call them wolf-hearted, and sooner or later they will be labeled as big hats, tied up, beaten and scolded!"

"Seven or eight years after my death, there were dozens if not hundreds of people who were harmed by them. Good people can't live a good life. On the contrary, those who don't distinguish between black and white, work for tigers, and many of them follow chickens and dogs to heaven."

"What do you want to do?" Yan Jue asked suddenly.

Qian Baolai raised his head, looked directly at Yan Jue, and gritted his teeth: "Shopkeeper, I don't ask for anything else, I just want the lives of these people, so that the good people can survive and the wicked people go to hell. As long as it can be done, even if I want to be wiped out, I will die." Willingly!"
